DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—Federal immigration authorities confirmed that an MS-13 gang member charged in a shooting spree in Mississippi last week is an illegal migrant who had been previously deported from the U.S. Fredy Antonio Amaya-Marin is a 39-year-old Salvadoran national living in the U.S. illegally, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) spokesperson confirmed to the Daily Caller News Foundation on Thursday. The Philadelphia, Miss., Police Department arrested Amaya-Marin on Aug. 24 for allegedly shooting at about 15 vehicles and charged him with attempted murder. Multiple shootings targeting vehicles passing through a road in Philadelphia, Miss., occurred over the course of several days last week, according to WLBT-TV, Channel 3, the NBC affiliate in Jackson, Miss. Authorities eventually apprehended a man who identified himself as Jonathan Salvador, who allegedly fired at passing cars on Friday near his home with no discernible motive. After administering a biometric screening, authorities determined this man to be Amaya-Marin, and discovered he had been deported from the country before unlawfully returning, according to ICE. Border Patrol agents first encountered Amaya-Marin on July 2, 2007, near Hebbronville, Texas, after he unlawfully crossed into the country, according to ICE. He was placed into the agency’s custody and removed by Enforcement and Removal Operations several days later. The Salvadoran national again illegally entered the country at some point after his 2007 deportation, but federal immigration authorities are unsure when or where, according to ICE. Local police determined that Amaya-Marin is a member of MS-13, an international criminal gang that originated in Los Angeles but primarily comprises Salvadoran nationals, according to WLBT-TV. Gang members are known for their violence and brutality, with one MS-13 leader pleading guilty last month to charges related to the gruesome killings of high school girls with baseball bats and a machete. Police say they have yet to determine a motive for the shootings, but the Salvadoran’s roommates say he started acting strange a couple of months ago. “They stated to us that during the day, he was fine, and when nightfall came, he was just a totally different person,” Philadelphia, Miss., police Capt. Desmond Jones told local media. “And it kind of made them uneasy, and they were kind of feeling suspicious about it.” ICE confirmed to the DCNF that a detainer request has been lodged with the Winston-Choctaw County Jail, where Amaya-Marin is being held. Immigration detainers ask that local authorities hold onto a noncitizen in their custody long enough for a deportation officer to arrive and assume custody of that individual. The Salvadoran national is charged with attempted murder, illegal reentry after deportation, and being an illegal migrant in possession of a firearm, according to WLBT-TV. The incident makes Amaya-Marin one of the countless “unknown got-aways” who enter the U.S. illegally and undetected by federal immigration authorities. Roughly 2 million known got-aways have entered the country since the beginning of the Biden-Harris administration, a congressional source confirmed to the DCNF earlier this year.

California's Wave of Corruption: Another FBI Raid, This Time in Orange County

Political commentator and podcast host Robby Starbuck revealed the weakness of radical corporate DEI during a NewsNation appearance after Ford became the latest company to renounce the leftist ideology.   Starbuck spoke with NewsNation anchor Leland Vittert on the Wednesday edition of On Balance With Leland Vittert. When Vittert expressed surprise at the “lack of pushback” against Starbuck’s repeatedly successful campaigns, Starbuck explained that corporate DEI advocates like the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) do push back, but are too weak to survive a substantial challenge.  “[H]ere’s the thing that this campaign has proven: they really do not have a sizable public support,” Starbuck said. “That's the issue is that they've had these, you know, sort of conglomerate groups like the HRC as their attack dogs for a long time. But in reality, how many real people were behind that? And the answer is not very many.” On Wednesday, Ford announced in an email that the company would no longer participate in the HRC’s Corporate Equality Index (CEI). which pushes companies to adopt many radical policies such as allowing men in women’s restrooms and “healthcare coverage for medically necessary transition-related care.”  Ford also promised that previously-segregated Employee Resource Groups would be open to all employees. It also categorically denied using quotas for hiring, dealers, suppliers or compensation. In a post on X, Starbuck announced that he preemptively received word of Ford’s decision while investigating corporate DEI at the company. On Wednesday evening, Starbuck told Vitter that corporate DEI was ripe for destruction. Starbuck went on to describe the secret weakness of the pressure groups like HRC that push DEI. “They essentially have been the vehicle to push these politics throughout corporate America,” Starbuck said, referring to HRC. “And so these companies got fooled into believing that there's some army there that does not exist. It was all a house of cards, somebody just had to press the first card.” A lot of cards have fallen. Since June 27, Tractor Supply, Harley-Davidson, Jack Daniel’s parent company Brown-Furman and Lowe’s have also revealed that they have cut ties with the HRC.  The bereaved formerly effective LGBTQ+ pressure group responded to Ford’s decision.  “Today,  @Ford ABANDONED its values and commitments to an inclusive workplace, cowering to MAGA weirdo Robby Starbuck,” the HRC wrote in a post on X. The HRC went on to threaten Ford, saying, “[W]e won’t forget this shortsighted decision and its impact.” In a response on X, Starbuck rebuked the HRC, once again arguing that the DEI movement has little public support: “Hilarious. Sorry @HRC but your spending power is nothing compared to conservatives who buy Ford trucks. Literally nothing. You have no sizable public support which is why your people won’t debate me. Your influence in corporate America was a house of cards and I pushed the first card to topple it. Your support comes from woke government, globalist elites, gender studies professors and college Marxists. My support comes from everyday working class people who make our country run everyday.” Conservatives are under attack! Contact ABC News (818) 460-7477, CBS News (212) 975-3247 and NBC News (212) 664-6192 and demand they report on the dangers of leftist DEI ideology infecting corporate America.

The El Paso Times — a newspaper in the megachain Gannett — penned a syrupy profile Thursday thanks to reporter Adam Powell of Congressman Colin Allred (D-TX), whom they celebrated as someone who “isn’t running for cover” from the U.S.-Mexico border and “[d]rawing contrast on border policy” with incumbent Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX). Along with a nod to this manufactured push by Democrats to run campaigns centered around “freedom” (read: abortion), Powell scoffed at Cruz as having “taken a hands-off approach to immigration legislation while using crises at the border as fodder for his reelection bids.” Powell proclaimed that Allred “said his opponent's unwillingness to act on meaningful immigration reform continues to hurt Texans in border communities and beyond.” He then uncritically ran a litany of quotes of Allred sounding like he was reciting Senate Democratic talking points. Powell then turned his ire on Cruz (click “expand”): Migrant crossings...are among the lowest experienced during President Joe Biden's administration. Meanwhile, Cruz continues to campaign on failure at the border. A day ago, he posted on social media that Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris "has risked our national security by letting in millions of illegal aliens." Allred recently took his border message to the airwaves with a television ad entitled "Out Here." The ad blasts Cruz for his continued inaction on immigration reform and features law enforcement officers from across the border region, including El Paso sheriff candidate Oscar Ugarte. He likely has a sure bet on votes in the Democratic stronghold of El Paso, undoubtedly bolstered by support from state Sen. Cesar Blanco and U.S. Rep. Veronica Escobar, but he also believes the border is a key issue for voters all across Texas. “I think all over the state folks are talking about it,” he said. “Obviously, it's more personal and more front of mind for our border communities but, whether it's Dallas or the Panhandle, this is something people talk about all the time.” In a subhead entitled “[d]rawing contrast on border policy”, Powell again touted Allred’s boilerplate language about “a short- and long-term approach, beginning with the asylum process and the nation's legal immigration system”, targeting “countries behind some of the biggest crowds of migrants” (so, the countries Vice President Harris was supposed to address), and support for the border deal negotiated by the White House, Senate Democrats, and a small group of Republicans. “Allred's position varies wildly from that of Cruz, who has so far during his time in the Senate taken a hands-off approach to immigration legislation while using crises at the border as fodder for his reelection bids,” Powell boasted ahead of an Allred quote falsely claiming Cruz “doesn’t want to do anything” to protect the American people. Fact-check: Pants on fire. Cruz has not only supported the border security measure passed by House Republicans — H.R. 2 — but also Kate’s Law (named after the late Kate Steinele), the Justice for Jocelyn Act (named after a Texas girl allegedly murdered by an illegal alien), the Protect Kids and Parents Act, and the No FAMS at the Border Act of 2024. Most notably, he supported and helped pass the TRANQ Research Act, which became law late last year that targets a deadly street drug by the same name, a tranquilizer that a press release on the law said “is often combined with other drugs like fentanyl and Xanax.” None of that — plus Cruz’s visits to the border — made Powell’s piece. It seemed as though Powell never actually reached out to Cruz’s spokespeople for a comment. The final few graphs were even sillier, falsely claiming Cruz wants to cut entitlements and how “Allred said his campaign is focused on one issue more than any other” in “freedom” and “the right to have control over one's own body”. Once again, it sure comes off like Powell wasn’t concerned about writing a real news story.
